    Please excuse my ignorance but what does flylady mean?

    It means stitching witch will jump on a broomstick and fly around the house tidying up at twice the speed us mere mortals can :D lol

    Love to you all x
  • as promised spicy lentil soup. Hope you like it x

    If you like the soup spicier, add more chilli, but remember, you can add more, but you can't take it away.

    And it was still edible when you put in two teaspoons of chilli! ;)

  • I've just had a look around a curtain making shop which is closing this week. Absolutely ideal premises for my business and she's happy to leave the custom built shelving and cutting out table too.

    It's reasonable rent at £400 pcm but it's a couple of months too early and I know someone else is interested in it too :(:(:(

    hello peoples!!

    Hope all is well!

    Today:

    Take museli to work for breakfast - was horrid - there's one thing like a nut or something that is absolutely gross
    do the P! survey that has just dropped in my inbox
    package up the combat shorts that have just sold on eBay (completely forgot about them!)
    Go to second job
    look after my sick bf - he ate a dodgy burger last night (or is it a ploy to buy me an engagement ring for our anniversary on Sunday - I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY!!!)
    Decide with the BF where we should go this weekend for a getaway :)

    That's all! Hope everyone's Monday isn't too bad!! xxxx
    Life is too short not to love what you do.

    Morning all!
    Just when the house is finally tidy again the decorator called round last night to see if he could do the hall and stairs tomorrow. Its a combination of :T and :eek:.
    At least there's nothing really to do before they come - just take a few pictures down. By Weds everything will be completely done - hurrah!






    So today's list...
    • Take leftover flooring back to the shop for a refund - there's 2 packs left so will defo be getting the money back on those Tried but the manager wasn't in so couldn't get a refund - will trt again tomorrow
    • Go to Dunelm for "finishing touches" - lightshade, storage box etc Done, got some nice reasonably priced bits
    • Walk dog lots Done
    • Drop colour choices for paint off at decorators (only round the corner) Done
    • Post Lovefilm DVDs back Done
    • All food from stores Done
    • Finish off sofa chair
    • Do mini touch up of my decorating where floor man made a few tiny marks
    • Drop Avon book off at Avon lady's house Done
    • Clean fridge
    • Maybe do some school work
    That's it for now......


    Well the decorator phoned at lunchtime to say he'd finished his other job and could he come this afternoon! There's a team of 3 here now doing the prep and undercoats etc and 4 are coming back tomorrow to get it all finished in the day! At least it will all be done by tomorrow eveing and I can get my house back at last! Its been like a bombsite for days now and is starting to do my head in!

    So my list above has gone to pot a bit and I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do during the day as they're doing the hall and stairs right in the middle of the house and I'm marooned!
    I'm dropping the dog off at the kennel for the day tomorrow because he's just getting in the way - £12 well spent!

    But, in addition today I have put up all of my new pictures and the new lightshade in the office room and been to B&Q and bought 2 bargain plants to add to the overall finished effect and will reuse old plant pots for them in neutral colours so they won't clash.
    Roll on 4.30 when they all go home!
